Right. Having that unbalanced of a line, right or wrong could make a kicker rush his attempt because he sees linemen that they don't have a prayer of blocking.

They were...calls by their OC, DC, and audibles. The Bears are just bad...but then so is Green Bay. It was like watching the play in game of the Big Dance.
If the officials would have not blown a field goal penalty called against the Chargers in the Houston game week one the Chargers would have been one game better and yesterday's game wouldn't have mattered. It all evened out this time. After years of being on the wrong end of bad calls I don't mind one bit that a formation penalty was missed (especially since an equally bad call cost the chargers a game this year).
As far as the fumble goes, the ball carrier's helmet came off well before the fumble. Play is dead at that point. Not the same situation as the UT game.
In the final analysis I would say the Chiefs were screwed but not the Steelers.

What gets me is that the play wasn't even reviewed. Coaches could not demand a review as it is solely up to the officiating crew during OT. I'd feel a lot better about it if the play had at least been reviewed.
Chargers must feel real proud of themselves reaching the playoffs by needing OT along with ineptitude by the officials to beat the Chiefs JV team.
Yeah I really don't like the Cowboys but that was a terrible miss by the officials.
Seriously Succup, just make the kick. Should be an easy kick for an NFL kicker.
I'll have to rewatch because when I hit rewind on my DVR three times last night he was to the marker, his helmet came off, then the ball came out.
I'll go on record saying the illegal formation rules are dumb. You have 11 players. Let them line up anyway they want to.
FIFY. SD beat the Chiefs once. That wasn't the Chiefs on the field yesterday.
Steelers should be playing next weekend instead of SD - Succop doesn't miss that kick twice if given the chance he should have had.
As a Bengals fan, I can't say I'm upset on the blown call knocking the Steelers out of the playoffs, but wow there have been some game-changing officiating blunders in the NFL this year.
You are correct. They earned the right to rest their starters by playing well enough during the previous 15 games to not need another win.
If Chargers aren't screwed on a field goal penalty in game one against Houston then yesterday's game doesn't matter. Karma came around for the Chargers for once.
If my Phins were going to choke, I wanted the Chargers to take there place. Hard year for my team. Missed a 35 harder to beat Baltimore earlier in the year that would've sealed the deal.
Then had the final playoff spot the last two weeks in a row, all the had to do was win a game. And they put up a total of 7 points.
Mike Sherman, I honestly believe, is the worst professional football mind that has a job.

When his helmet came off he was short of the first down so it does matter because the chiefs would have still got the ball terrible calls. Didn't matter for the Chiefs really but Phillis Rivers is a tool and I wish he wasn't in the playoffs.
